Param. adj. during meas.
disabled, enabled: Whether or not it is possible to change parameters
(start temperature, stop temperature and temperature gradient)
during a determination.
Calibration interval
0–36 months: default 12 months. BUCHI recommends calibration or
verification after 12 months using the calibration set and the verifica-
tion set.
Sample ID request
enabled: After the start of determination, the sample ID window is
displayed.
disabled: The sample ID window is not automatically displayed. In
combination with the Melting Point Monitor software, it is advisable to
turn this feature off.
Barometric pressure request
Has impact only on boiling point determination.
never: No pop-up screen is shown.
daily: Enter current barometric pressure once a day.
always: Enter current barometric pressure every time the instrument
heats up to the start temperature for boiling point determination.
Boiling sample conditioning
0–600 s: The default value is set to 60 seconds. This is needed to
ensure a temperature equilibrium between heating block and liquid
in the boiling point tube. If this value is set too low, the result can be
incorrect or no automatic boiling point detection.
